Robert Griffin III thinks he could be the solution at quarterback for the Texans.Mens Steve Largent Jersey I feel like I could help the team, he told the Houston Chronicle. I know a lot of their guys. I think I can do a lot of things they’ve been doing offensively. Texas is home, and I’ve always got a soft spot in my heart for Texas.

The Texans lost rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson for the season to a torn ACL during practice Nov. 2 and currently employ Tom Savage as their starting signal-caller.

Heck, I’m cheerleading for Kap, too, because of the stance he took and what he’s representing, Griffin said. Authentic Corey Brewer Jersey I understand why it’s a hot-button issue. I think he’s become a martyr for social injustice and some of the things going on in this country and around the world. A quarterback goes down, and he’s the first one mentioned? I sure don’t take that personally.

Womens Stephen Curry Jersey Ovechkin’s 14th goal came in his first game this season as linemates with Nicklas Backstrom, who led the team in assists last season. Backstrom assisted on the play.

Evgeny Kuznetsov added a goal and two assists, and Alex Chiasson had a goal and an assist for the Capitals, who have earned at least a point against the Senators in nine consecutive meetings.

We responded immediately that Colin would be happy to attend, Geragos told Yahoo Sports. Because of the grievance, we asked that a mediator be present. A mediator would ensure that the discussions were productive and confidential and not used as a public relations stunt or prop by the league. Colin’s proposal was rejected.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said he has been impressed by Peterman, and is willing to take a calculated risk in starting him, even though Taylor has 10 touchdown passes on the season and only three interceptions.

The Saints, Rams and Panthers are all in the playoff hunt with seven wins each, and the NFL wants more eyeballs on its best current teams.

It’s Thanksgiving week in the U.S., which means it’s time to recognize the important things in life, like sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and those dinner rolls that somehow manage to be light and heavy, which is a neat trick.

I’m thankful for the continued existence of Jaromir Jagr. For a while there, it looked like the best-case scenario was that Jagr would play in exile until the Olympics, and then maybe somehow find an NHL team to sign him for the playoff run.

Jaden Schwartz might be good at making his teammates laugh, but he harbors sadness too. Not a day has passed since the death of his sister, Mandi, that he doesn’t think of her. The Blues star honors her memory by pursuing a hockey dream they both shared.

Keenum has led the Vikings to five straight wins since taking over for Sam Bradford, who was placed on injured reserve last week with a left knee injury. The team also activated Teddy Bridgewater in a corresponding move.

Bridgewater hasn’t played since the 2016 preseason, when he dislocated his knee and required surgery, but was active for the first time in 672 days Sunday. It remains unclear if he will get a chance to play this season, since the Vikings have found success with Keenum in the starting role.

Keenum, 29, has thrown for 1,914 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions, and boasts the third-best total QBR (72.6) behind Texans QB Deshaun Watson and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott.

Keenum will face his former team and go head-to-head with former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff, who replaced him as the Rams’ starter, when the Vikings (7-2) host the Rams (7-2) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.

Devon Travis Womens Jersey
The Cardinals announced Friday that Blaine Gabbert will start at quarterback Sunday against the Texans.
Arizona lost Carson Palmer to a Logan Forsythe Jersey broken left arm earlier this season, and backup Drew Stanton was limited in practice this week with a knee injury. Stanton is still expected to serve as backup if healthy.

There’s absolutely no reason to go back to Peterman, but even if the Bills do that, the way Taylor performed in the face of inexplicable adversity that was foisted on him through no real fault of his own speaks well of his professionalism and character. That will help his appeal as a free agent if the Bills decide, as expected, to move on from him at season’s end.

Jones was carted off the field in the first half of Sunday’s 23-16 win over the Bears after gaining 12 yards on three carries. Jones was almost immediately ruled out for the game, leaving many to speculate the severity of his injury.

Jones was selected in the fifth round of this year’s NFL Draft, and had earned a larger role in the Packers offense in recent weeks after rushing for 125-plus yards twice in October.

Billy Turner Authentic Jersey Ty Montgomery rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown on six carries after Jones left, but he too left the game and did not return. Montgomery was ruled out with a rib injury.

After the yoga session, Khan retreats to the Kismet’s gym and spends 30 Al Horford Authentic Jersey minutes on the elliptical, 10 in the sauna, and the rest getting ready for the brunch party he’s hosting on his yacht this morning, the third party he’s hosting in three days. Khan emerges from his bedroom looking more put together now. He’s dressed in a black striped shirt and black slacks, his mustache is curled so it’s pointing upward at the ends, and his hair is slicked back.Elite Youth Kam Chancellor Jersey That’s what I mean: He says the right things, does the right things, and plays the right way. He said he isn’t surprised at his early success, and he doesn’t know why his adjustment has been so seamless. I’ll give you one clue: There’s one person on this planet who’s twice thrown for 400 yards against a Nick Saban-coached defense Watson, at Clemson.

Football’s football. The reason I’m not surprised is because of the preparation and the mindset I have, Watson said. Watching him now, he still might lock onto his first read too regularly, but he’s so confident and plays so fast that you figure his progressions will come in time. In his last three games, he’s playing to a 118.3 rating, ridiculous for a rookie.

Peterson ran left for eight yards on the third play, around the left end for 11 more on the fourth play, and through a left guard-tackle crease on the sixth play for 27 yards and a fairly easy touchdown. Peterson was as motivated for this game as he’d been for any in a while even the opener as a Saint back in Minnesota. The results: 26 carries, 134 yards, two touchdowns.Barkevious Mingo Youth Jersey
How long? Well, Peterson made it clear to me this won’t be his last season, and he made it clear this won’t be his last dominant game of the season. The Cards, and a quarterback who’d been getting hit a lot, Carson Palmer, need him to salvage their season. What the moral of your story? I asked. Control your own destiny, he said. Don’t let anyone else control it.

Khan decides to watch the second half with Ann, who prefers to watch on a TV in the lounge. As the game resumes, everyone else clears out of the room except for Alistair Mackintosh, the Fulham CEO. Khan watches most of the half in silence, standing cross-armed, staring at the TV. Mrs. Khan and Mackintosh know it’s probably best to leave him be.Simon Despres Authentic Jersey
She said he then lifted her up and threw her on the bed. She claimed Elliott told her, I’m not dealing with your dumb ass anymore and then Try to leave and see what happens. She told the intake counselor that she was too scared to leave.

What two witnesses told police: Elliott’s friend said he and Elliott were at a bar from about midnight until 2 a.m. Thursday. He said Elliott’s accuser met them there, and the three went back to Elliott’s place together.

The NFLPA brought on attorney Jeffrey Kessler to handle Elliott’s appeal, according to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports.

What do you do when your top two usage players are Dennis Schroder and Kent Bazemore, both of whom sport true shooting percentages below 51? Likely answer: lose a lot of basketball games. The Hawks haven’t won since an opening night win at Dallas, and will start November with five of seven on the road, and home games against Houston and Boston.

The Bulls found their first win of the season over Atlanta on Thursday, but this is still a roster that practically invites misery. The Bulls rank dead last in offensive efficiency, last in net rating, and last in workplace harmony, as Nikola Mirotic told management that it’s either him or Bobby Portis. On the bright side, sweet-shooting rookie Lauri Markkanen looks Brad Wing Jersey like a keeper.

In a move few would have predicted before the season started, Jim McElwain is out at Florida. So what do the Gators do now? We break down the job, the potential candidates and offer a recommendation.

But if Honeycutt were a writer, they would be his short stories. Kershaw is his Great American Novel.

“When Kershaw came to us,” says Torre, “he was a fastball/curveball pitcher. I made the mistake of comparing him to Koufax because that’s what Sandy was. But Rick taught him a slider and refined his changeup and made him a thinking man’s pitcher. I have to tell you, even from afar, it’s been wonderful watching what the two of them have done.”

This week’s fantasy blocking breakdown reviews why Seattle’s terrible defensive performance may not be an anomaly, examines whether Isaiah Crowell’s encouraging performance is an omen of better things in the future, and explains why awful blocking is to blame for Jay Ajayi being stuck in neutral, but is not to blame for Cam Newton’s woes.

Joe Flacco, QB, Baltimore Ravens: In the midst of his best game of the season, Flacco took a gruesome shot to the head late in the first half from linebacker Kiko Alonso after sliding to the ground on a run. Flacco’s helmet immediately flew off of his head, and the Super Bowl-winning quarterback went to the locker room with a glassy-eyed look and blood coming from his left ear. Alonso’s hit on Flacco drew outrage from the Ravens as well as an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Ravens coach John Harbaugh came onto the field to yell at Alonso in a game that featured several fights the rest of the way.

It is the first reported concussion in Flacco’s 10-year career. He is now in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

As far as comfort goes, you’re not going to beat this costume, but you’re going to have to do something special to make this recognizable. If you show up to a party in Under Armour sleepwear and nothing else, you’re just going to look like you’re unhappy to be there, and that’s no fun.
With exactly one minute left in the game, Boston Scott’s two-yard touchdown broke the tie and put Louisiana Tech up 35-28. Rice got the ball back and needed a touchdown, but quarterback Sam Glaesmann was picked off by Trey Spencer, who returned it 37 yards for a touchdown with 36 seconds left to give the Bulldogs a 14-point lead. The Owls would throw another interception 27 seconds later — their fourth turnover of the game — to seal the fate of bettors who still aren’t quite sure how they lost in this one.

While MLB, the NBA and the NHL actually see blockbuster deals every midseason between buyers Ronnie Lott Authentic Jersey and sellers, the nature of the NFL (much shorter seasons, much different systems, more salary cap issues) make it difficult to pull Bo Horvat Authentic Jersey off successful marquee swaps.

But imagine putting on the masks of all 32 NFL general managers at once. Knowing each team’s strengths, weaknesses and true place in the standings, being able to move anybody anywhere with even the slightest sense of reason … What would you do?

The Lions are coming off a bye and two straight losses before that, during which time the Packers lost Aaron Rodgers but the Vikings shot past them both in the NFC North. The Lions are better than how they’ve looked in their losses.

The scouting report on Smith-Schuster, the latest promising pro receiver to come out of USC, was that he could line up outside or inside, run short or deep and still be productive. While other such former Trojans have found specific niches either way — see the Lions’ Marvin Jones, the Eagles’ Nelson Agholor or the Rams’ Robert Woods

Smith-Schuster was attractive as a second-round pick for the Steelers because of his strength, hands and versatility. Despite his age, he already looked the part of a polished possession receiver. Rogers’ struggles with ball security early and Bryant’s trouble with just about everything in his return from suspension created a huge opening for Pittsburgh to see how much more Smith-Schuster could offer.Aaron Donald Mens Jersey
But each series takes on a mind of its own, and this Houston-Los Angeles matchup has featured enough plots twists and momentum shifts to give everyone a case of emotional whiplash. The teams went from scorching, 100-degree heat in California to a climate-controlled bubble in Texas, and from Kershaw’s brilliance in Game 1 to the Astros’ stunning, late-inning and home-run fueled resilience to win 7-6 in an 11-inning Game 2.

Robert Bortuzzo Mens Jersey Take a look at this play, a touchdown pass to Amendola versus Miami where Garoppolo identified the pressure and bought extra time to deliver a perfect ball for six points.

With the Dolphins showing zero-man pressure (no safety help in the middle of the field), and bringing two extra rushers (orange circles), Garoppolo has to quickly find his target and get the ball out. However, in order for Amendola (yellow circle) to beat the coverage and gain leverage inside (no defensive help over the top), Garoppolo buys his receiver a little extra time by giving ground in the pocket. He throws off his back foot as Amendola separates from the coverage. And it’s a money toss.

When you’re chasing a game it doesn’t usually work in your favor and teams are going to capitalize on stuff like that in this league and they did, Pearson said. We gave it a good push at the end and weren’t able to get that last one.Kids John Paxson Jersey Gunnarsson made up for the defensive lapse with his third goal of the season with 3:41 left in the second. The Kings unsuccessfully challenged the goal, claiming Kyle Brodziak interfered with Quick.Authentic Mens Tommy Wingels Jersey
Doughty played in his 700th career game. … Schenn was selected by the Kings with the fifth pick in the 2009 draft. … The Kings scratched D Oscar Fantenberg and C Nick Shore. … The Blues scratched RW Chris Thorburn, D Nate Prosser and G Ville Husso.

This is one of the top offensive teams in the country, Morris said of the Knights. They’re averaging 7.8 yards per play. Every time they snap the ball, it’s almost eight yards.

SMU ranks 100th in total defense and was shredded by a two-win Tulsa team that racked up 458 yards against the Mustangs. For the second straight week, SMU got off to a slow start and was forced to rally from behind in the second half.

We can’t continue to do Blaine Gabbert Jersey this, especially against the opponent like we’re getting ready to face this week, Morris said. We’ve got to figure out a way to put a complete game together.

But Claiborne may not even be out on the field for the Jets after leaving the Sunday game with a foot injury. He is questionable to play, as is defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson, who played the past three games despite not practicing. Fullback Lawrence Thomas has already been ruled out due to a concussion.

The Jets might also be without Jeremy Kerley, who is being suspended for an undisclosed violation, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday. Kerley, the Jets’ third-leading receiver, had a crucial muffed a punt late in the loss to Atlanta. However, he did practice Tuesday and is preparing to play.

“I mean, you’re not going to stop a great player like Lillard or McCollum,” Casey said. “But our whole emphasis was to make them work for every inch of the court.”

Auston Matthews scored in the first period and Nazem Kadri added a goal with 1:10 remaining to cut San Jose’s lead to 3-2. The Maple Leafs have lost four of five and were held to only two shots on goal in a span of more than 31 minutes in the second and third periods.

“We’ve been turning the puck over too much,” Matthews said. “We stop that, we can win. I thought our work ethic and competing were much better tonight. We need to get out of the little funk we’re in.”

Frederik Andersen made 36 saves but had no chance on Heed’s slapper that went into the top corner after Timo Meier had drawn a cross-checking penalty from Dominic Moore early in the period.

“I’ve got the puck,” Gunnarsson said after scoring the game-winning goal Monday night in a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

Vladimir Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz each had a goal and an assist to lead the Blues in a matchup between two of the NHL’s top squads.

“We’ve got a good team,” Blues coach Mike Yeo said. “We’ve still got a long, difficult road ahead of us. We haven’t accomplished anything except a good start and that can leave us very quickly.”

Vladimir Sobotka added an empty-netter for the Blues, who improved to 10-2-1 to match the franchise’s best start set in 1997. Jake Allen made 26 saves as St. Louis remained the only unbeaten team on home ice this season (5-0).

“We’ve been steady with our game, a confident group right here,” Gunnarsson said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s special teams or 5-on-5, we’re playing our game and we’ve got the confidence that we’re going to break the other team down.”
